Saitech Inc. is proud to announce its successful verification and certification as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) by the Supplier Clearinghouse. This certification recognizes Saitech as a minority-owned business, allowing us to compete for procurements from public utilities participating in California’s Utility Supplier Diversity Program. This is a significant milestone for Saitech Inc., opening doors to more opportunities within the public sector, particularly in the utility industry.

What is the Supplier Clearinghouse MBE Certification?

The Supplier Clearinghouse, managed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), is responsible for certifying businesses as Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Women Business Enterprises (WBE), and other diverse business categories. This certification, verified under General Order 156, ensures that businesses like Saitech Inc. meet specific diversity criteria to participate in procurement opportunities provided by California’s major utilities. The certification allows us to be officially recognized as a qualified vendor for public utilities, helping to diversify their supply chains and promote inclusive procurement practices.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) plays a vital role in promoting diversity and inclusion within California’s utility sector. Through its Supplier Diversity Program, the CPUC works to ensure that businesses owned by minorities, women, and other underrepresented groups have equitable access to procurement opportunities from public utilities. The Supplier Clearinghouse is the official body that verifies and certifies businesses as Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), ensuring that they meet the criteria set by the CPUC. This certification is a critical step for businesses, like Saitech Inc., looking to participate in utility procurement programs and to be recognized as qualified vendors for California’s public utilities.

What This Means for Saitech Inc.

Achieving MBE certification through the Supplier Clearinghouse enhances Saitech’s ability to provide high-quality products and services to public utilities in California. As a verified MBE, Saitech is now eligible to compete for a wide range of utility contracts, contributing to the diversity and innovation within the utility supply chain. We will continue to offer our expertise and solutions across sectors, including technology, IT services, and infrastructure projects, while supporting California’s commitment to supplier diversity.

Our MBE certification status is valid until November 30, 2025, and this status allows us to leverage more opportunities within the public utility sector and helps ensure that we remain a trusted partner in promoting supplier diversity.
